Hello, Debora, and welcome back to planDisney!
How exciting! You’re
Very Merrytime Cruise aboard the Disney Dream will be here before you know it. These themed sailings are the merriest at sea, featuring a flurry of activities. There's a brand new
tree-lighting ceremony and festive holiday deck party with Mickey and Minnie. You’re in for a real treat!
Unfortunately, one beloved activity still missing from the ships is crew pin trading. I love that you want to share this experience with your grandson. The pin-trading bug has just recently bitten my son. It’s great to see his confidence soar when he makes a trade. While pin trading has changed a little, the magic is still there. You’ll find at least one mystery pin-trading box on board. Guests select a number and trade for the Disney pin in the numbered drawer. If you like the pin, you can complete your trade. If not, you can choose a second mystery drawer. We found this special box in one of the merchandise shops on our last sailing.
Debora, you’re not the only Guest wishing to pin trade. As you’re out and about exploring the ship, maybe while solving a mystery for the
Midship Detective Agency, look for pin-trading boards hanging outside stateroom doors. There’s no need to knock on the door. Just select a pin you like and leave one behind – easy peasy! I hope you and your grandson have fun searching the ship for opportunities to trade and add special pins to his collection. Sail back to planDisney if you have additional questions as embarkation day approaches. My pals and I are delighted to help!
SEAS the adventure!
